The Primaloft insulation on both the inner palm area and outer areas seems to do the trick. Last season I was skiing in a pair of Black Diamond Mercury mitts, which were super warm (almost too much) but also super bulky. The Point ‘n Chutes have 133 grams of Primaloft insulation on the back of the hand, 170 grams on the front… The BD gloves had 284 grams overall insulation… So, the OR gloves have a lower profile, yet appear to offer plenty of warmth. I like the fact that they aren’t nearly as bulky.After having worn the Point ‘n Chutes around the house (though winter is on it’s way, we’re not quite there yet), I’d say they are going to be quite warm.

How warm would you expect the new one's you mention. I'd have to be in the 3 finger mens...just wishing it was a straight up mitt.Sounds like a nice set of new stuff.
